Ingredients

Servings: 12

Prep time: 30 minutesCook time: 20 minutes

Cinnamon Sticks

1 tbsp. yeast

1 1/2 cups warm water

3 tbsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups flour

1 stick butter

Cinnamon Topping

3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. salt

2 tbsp. butter, melted

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp. milk

2 tbsp. cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Make the Dough

Prepare the dough first so that it can rest while you make the topping.

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the dough and the topping.

2

Dissolve the yeast, sugar and water in a medium bowl.

3

Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes until it gets bubbly.

4

Add the salt and 3 1/4 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture.

5

Stir the ingredients by hand until they’re well mixed, or use the dough hook on your mixer to blend the ingredients.

6

Add more flour, a few tablespoons at a time, if the dough is sticky. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the mixing bowl or has formed a ball around the dough hook.

7

Generously flour your cutting board or counter top where you will be rolling out the dough.

8

Place the ball of dough on the floured surface and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. You can place a clean kitchen towel over the ball of dough or let it rest uncovered.

Method 2 of 4: Prepare the Topping

You can make the cinnamon topping while your dough is resting.

1

Place 8 tablespoons of butter on your baking sheet.

2

Place the sheet in the preheated oven to melt. This only takes a few minutes and you should remove the pan before the butter begins to turn brown.

3

Mix 2 tablespoons of the melted butter from the pan with the sugars, cinnamon and salt in a small mixing bowl.

4

Set the cinnamon mixture aside when it has reached a creamy consistency.

Method 3 of 4: Form the Dough into Breadsticks

Now you are ready to take the ball of dough that has been resting and make it into breadsticks.

1

Lightly knead the dough for a few minutes.

2

Roll out the dough so that it will fit your rimmed baking sheet.

3

Use a pizza cutter or a knife to cut 1 1/2" wide strips of the dough. You should be able to make 12 breadsticks.

4

Dip each of the breadsticks into the pan of melted butter. Coat each side.

5

Arrange the breadsticks in the pan until they are all lined up. If you were able to get more than 12 from your dough, you can bake them in another pan.

6

Pour the cinnamon mixture over the breadsticks.

7

Allow the breadstick dough to rise for about 20 minutes at room temperature.

8

Bake the cinnamon breadsticks for 15 to 20 minutes.

9

Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.

Method 4 of 4: Prepare the Glaze

While the breadsticks are baking, you can get the glaze ready.

1

Stir together the sugar, milk and cream cheese in a medium bowl using a spatula.

2

Add the vanilla.

3

Continue to mix the ingredients until your glaze is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. You can add small amounts of milk to thin it, if necessary.

4

Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled cinnamon breadsticks. You can dip a wire whisk into the glaze and drizzle it all over the breadsticks, or you can create a crisscross pattern.

5

Serve them warm.
